WP: Man Found injured in 2200 Block of H Street Dies [UPDATED]

The Washington Post reports that 26 year old Arvel Lee Stuart has succumbed to his injuries following a severe beating. Stuart was discovered injured about 9:10pm in the 2200 block of H Street Sunday night. This is in the Carver-Langston area.

I'm a little confused because, while the Washington Post suggests the man's injuries stem from a beating, here's part of an initial MPD statement regarding an Assault with Intent to Kill in that block at the same time. I'm not sure if these are really separate incidents or a conflict in reporting the same injuries. I assume the latter:

Members of the Fifth District received a call for an individual who may have been the victim of a shooting, in the 2200 block of H Street, Northeast. Upon arrival, officers discovered an adult male, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services personnel transported the victim to a local hospital.
